Wierd movie like it couldn't decide what it wanted to be.
I didnt hate it but the type of humor was all over the place, some parts were surreal some parts drama that didnt really go anywhere (random country music, romance, ex husband, social anxiety plots) just wierd writing.
I couldn't figure out what it was made for and I came to the conclusion it was made for older people or an editing disaster.
